Services
Introductory Dives
Perfect for first-time divers, our introductory dives provide essential training and guided exploration of local reefs. Participants receive basic instruction before joining experienced guides to discover marine life in Mooloolaba and Noosa waters. Safety remains our priority throughout these shallow-water experiences.
Shark Dives
Specialist shark dives offer close encounters with Grey Nurse Sharks at designated sites. Certified divers receive specific briefing before approaching these protected species in their natural habitat. Our guides ensure responsible interactions that prioritise both diver safety and marine conservation.
Wreck Dives
Explore sunken vessels like the Scottish Prince wreck near Gold Coast. These dives combine history with marine biology as divers navigate collapsed ship structures now teeming with aquatic life. Technical dives require appropriate certification levels.
PADI Certification
Comprehensive PADI courses from Open Water to Rescue Diver levels. Programs include theory sessions, pool practice, and open water validation. All courses meet international standards with equipment and instructional materials provided throughout the training process.
Reef Clean Expeditions
Join our Reef Clean Team for underwater debris removal operations. No prior experience required as training occurs during pool sessions. Participants contribute directly to marine ecosystem protection while exploring Queensland's reefs through purpose-driven diving activities.

Had a lot of fun diving with Subsurface Scuba. Steve was really understandinh and flexible as we had to reschedule our dive a few times due to covid and weather. We'll definately dive with this crew again.

Highly recommend these guys if you ever want to try out scuba diving! Very professional, informative, excellent communication, only take small numbers down at a time, and they make sure you are comfortable with using the equipment and being under water if it's your first time.
